Intercession Old-Believers Eparchial Cathedral

Intercession Old-Believers Eparchial Cathedral (July 2013)

After restrictions on forms of worship were lifted in 1905 plans were made to build an old-believers church and in 1908 a plot of land was bought in Zamoskvorechye. By 1910 the church had been completed in the traditional Byzantine style. However just 20 years later the church was closed by the Bolsheviks and its priest was executed. It was only once again reopened in 1990 and in 2000 it became the Eparchial Cathedral of the Old-Believers Church.
